Always verify compatibility using your appliance model number before ordering.

Restore your washer’s ability to shift between agitating and spinning with this Genuine OEM Slider Gear Assembly. This part (Part # W10734521) is responsible for engaging the drive system during different parts of the cycle. If your washer will agitate but won’t spin, or if you hear a loud grinding noise when the cycle tries to change, the splines on this gear are likely stripped or the spring has lost tension.

Manufactured for the Whirlpool family of brands, this kit is a factory-certified replacement designed to handle the mechanical stress of shifting gears under heavy loads. Because it’s an OEM part, the teeth and spring tension are precisely calibrated to match your machine’s motor timing.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Genuine part for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, and Admiral top-load washers.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves failure to spin, “stuck” cycles, and grinding noises during gear engagement.

• Contents: Includes (1) Slider Gear, (1) Compression Spring, and mounting hardware.

• Install: Requires removing the drive motor and gearcase. Unplug the washer and shut off the water supply before beginning.

Pro Tip: When installing the new slider, ensure the splines are clean and free of old debris. A small amount of white lithium grease on the sliding surfaces can help ensure smooth shifting and prevent future wear.
